A book by Matt Sanderson
Available now · Paperback & Kindle
For thousands of years, religions have run the longest experiment in human history. Through shared rituals, quiet meditation, and storytelling, they found ingenious ways to tap into profound moments of peace and deep connection. But these moving experiences don't belong to any one church or theology. They belong to all of us. They are a universal human birthright, wired right into our biology and open to absolutely everyone, no matter what you believe.

What This Book Is About
We have spent centuries arguing over who has the right faith, instead of looking at what those breathtaking moments actually do for our well-being. Drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology, I Wonder makes a simple, reassuring case: our deepest spiritual feelings are completely real, but they don't require a supernatural explanation.
What ultimately causes them? Science doesn't have a settled answer yet, and the beauty of it is, the reality of what we feel doesn't depend on an answer.
I Wonder is a warm, open exploration of the human experience. Together, we will look at consciousness, the self, meditation, awe, psychedelics, death, meaning, ethics, community, and joy. Instead of defending rigid conclusions, each chapter treats these topics as a working hypothesis for us to explore and live out.
Who it's for
For the reader who left a religion and found the leaving cost more than expected.
For the reader who never had a religion, and finds the word "amazing" inadequate for certain moments.
For anyone who suspects you should not have to choose between intellectual honesty and a rich inner life.
Early reader responses
"I literally just applauded."
"Beautifully written. Tender, thoughtful, relational and inviting."
About the author
Matt Sanderson came to faith as a young adult, spent the years since wrestling with it, and arrived somewhere he would cautiously describe as agnostic. It turns out this is a highly useful place to write from.
